Chapter 43 Wu Sangui Lands in North America The officers and soldiers were carelessly attacked

After Wu Sangui and the others left Yaogang after the people's congress, Fan Chengkun and his navy used almost all their strength to help Wu Sangui and them transport personnel and materials.

The 20,000-ton giant ship in Yaogang and the four 5,000-ton ships, plus the steam warships in Yaogang, almost all went to deliver supplies to Wu Sangui and them.

Wu Sangui was one of the first to arrive in North America with the fleet. When the fleet left Quanzhou Port, it was loaded with tractors, cars, excavators, cranes and other large construction machinery, as well as a large amount of reinforced concrete. Embarked was followed by a mechanized chemical corps. Their task was to establish an advance base for the troops that would subsequently land in North America.

The reason why the fleet set sail from Quanzhou Port is because Quanzhou Port has complete loading and unloading machinery, and it is very convenient to load and unload large machinery, and there are many reinforced cement reserves, so there is no need to transport them abroad. The fleet left Quanzhou and stopped in Kagoshima, Japan, and after carrying Wu Sangui, Lin Feng and others who had arrived here earlier, they set sail all the way north, to the Liuwei Sea (Bering Sea), and then to the North Sea Cape (Bering Strait), and then sailed eastward after determining the direction, and soon saw the North American land in the east.

Although Wu Sangui and Li Yuanyuan took a giant ship of more than 20,000 tons, when they arrived at sea, the giant ship was like a flat boat, and Wu Sangui and Li Yuanyuan were seasick and vomited. But after a long time, Wu Sangui slowly began to adapt.

Hearing that the captain sent someone to inform him that he saw the land in front of him, Wu Sangui didn't seem to be dizzy on the ship, ran to the wheelhouse, took the binoculars and took a look, and the coastline appeared looming on the sea in front of him, as if on the edge of the sky.

The joy of a long and boring voyage and a sudden sight of the coastline is something that only those who have experienced it know firsthand.

Wu Sangui shouted: "Brothers, the North American continent is ahead!" As we said, there is a lot of gold, there is oil in the ground, there are a lot of the best trees on the shore, and there is an inexhaustible supply of salmon in the river. And large tracts of fertile land! ”

"Oh!" The brothers on the boat cheered!

"Hahaha!" Wu Sangui laughed and said, "However, there are also many wild people waiting for us with bows and arrows!" ”

A brother happily asked, "General Wu!" Are those savages clothed? ”

"Huh!?" Wu Sangui didn't think about such a question, "Little rabbit cub! How dare I ask Mr. Zhang about such a thing. But don't worry, we're ashore, see for yourselves! ”

"Haha!" The brothers on the deck burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very lively.

However, the wind and waves here were so strong that the fleet could not get any closer to the shore, but fortunately, several boats were equipped with hydroacoustic detectors, and they were able to sail back and forth along the coastline with their heads and still ensure safety.

In the end, Wu Sangui discussed with the captain and decided not to look for it anymore, so he anchored the underground and sent small boats and rubber boats to land to investigate the situation.

The place where they got off the cat was closest to the western part of the country (Wales), and Wu Sangui named it Shanhaiguan after the name of the place where they were originally stationed.

Actually, it's also a fitting name, because they set up a checkpoint here, and there are mountains and seas here.

Of course, the officers and men of the Marine Corps who went to the landing first to reconnoitre. They lowered two speedboats from the big boat, and six people went up from each boat, a squad of marines, "dood-tuk" started the dinghy, drew a string of white sprays on the rough sea, and drove towards the shore.

Because the wind and waves are too strong, the boat does not dare to land easily when it sways left and right on the sea, because it is too close, it is easy to be smashed to the shore and roll back, and the waves will overturn the boat.

The two dinghys circled along the coastline for a while, and suddenly found a beach, and they contacted each other, and together they sped up towards the beach, and washed up on the beach by the waves.

Disembark quickly and tow the boat ashore.

But the tossing and exhausted marines, who had just spread their bodies on the shore, suddenly noticed that several ghostly people with dark and swarthy faces appeared in front of them, gesturing to say something to them.

These marines were sent to reconnoiter this place they had never been before, and they were nervous, they didn't know what ghosts were waiting for them on the land. Especially, despite the good training, due to the fact that they were too tired when they grabbed the beach tugboat, these monsters came to the front and let them find out. However, soon the soldiers made a serious mistake. Startled, they quickly picked up their automatic rifles, loaded their bullets, and pointed their guns at the strange people in front of them. Only then did they realize that these were half-length ** hands with wooden javelins and bows and arrows, and an older-looking man was gesturing and trying to say something to them.

But the soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't understand what these strange people were saying, so they had to shout and order them to retreat.

But the other party couldn't understand what they were saying. In fact, these are some Indians who make a living by hunting walruses and fishing, when they hunt walruses, they find that there are monsters on the sea, so they have been hiding behind the rocks on the shore to observe, they see someone on the boat ashore, hospitable Indians, so they are very friendly to come out and greet them.

I didn't think there would be a misunderstanding.

It was also these marines who, after calming down, relied on the weapons in their hands, and began to be arrogant, yelling at the Indians to leave. These overwhelmed Indians didn't know what to do.

As soon as the soldiers saw that they couldn't say anything, the squad leader turned his gun down and shot twice at the beach under the feet of these Indians, who had never seen such a scary thing, and the bullet hit the sand very scary. But they were confused, this was some kind of people, dressed strangely, with strange weapons in their hands. But they felt that these people should not be so rude, for the Indians thought this was their territory, and they had never seen such a barbar.

However, fearing the terrifying sound of smoke coming out of these hands, the Indian elder slowly retreated with the people, and then suddenly disappeared behind the rocks.

These frightened sailors hurriedly turned on the radio and reported to Wu Sangui that they had just encountered these wild men who looked like ghosts.

Wu Sangui said angrily: "Didn't I tell you, there is no need not to provoke these savages, Mr. Zhang said, there are millions of Indians on the land, as well as the Aimoskys." There's no way we're going to kill them all! Why can't you remember? ”

The squad leader who led the team said aggrievedly: "We don't know why these ghost-like people suddenly appeared, and we don't know if they have malicious intentions towards us, we shot in a hurry, but we haven't hurt them yet." ”

"Alright! Expand the scope of detection! Wu Sangui put down the radio and said to Lin Feng: "Okay! It's good to meet people, Lao Tzu is afraid of no one, and it's troublesome to meet ghosts! ”

The relationship between Lin Feng and Wu Sangui was already very good, and he said with a smile: "Come on!" Don't say that people are ghosts, people think we are ghosts! ”

"Huh!" Wu Sangui smiled and said, "No, if ten years ago, Lao Tzu would have thought that he had encountered a ghost when he saw you people with automatic rifles!" ”

At this time, Wu Sangui didn't know that they had already planted the root cause.

The marines who came ashore reconnoitred and found that everything here was kept in a very primitive state, and when no trace of anyone was found, they reported the situation to Wu Sangui and them.

Wu Sangui and Lin Feng discussed it for a while, and decided to put down some more boats and boats to transfer personnel and necessary supplies to the shore. The main thing is to get the sappers ashore as quickly as possible, they need to go ashore to build camps, cut timber, and especially to build temporary floating docks, so that they can transport large equipment such as tractors ashore.

When the marines who had landed and reconnoitred came back, Wu Sangui and Lin Feng carefully asked them how they had seen the savages.

The soldiers all said that the savages they met looked a little like the Mongols.

Wu Sangui said: "That's right! Mr. Zhang said that in the past, when we crossed this Noss headland (Bering Strait) from here to us, a long time ago, it was frozen all year round, and it could not be melted away in summer. The Mongols over there crossed the ice to this side, and it was a long time before they saw it. It is also frozen in winter, and it is said that it is possible to cross over the ice. The closest place on both sides of the river here is said to be just over 30 kilometers away! ”

Lin Feng said: "The people here will not allow us to occupy their land casually, and they will definitely fight with us!" ”

The squad leader who landed laughed and said, "Just those people who are not much stronger than monkeys will fight with us?" ”

"Don't underestimate them," Lin Feng said, "we have to stand here and live in peace with them, and then use our culture and technology to assimilate them." We have to bring them good so that they can obey us. This is a very long process, and Mr. Zhang has repeatedly warned us that we must be mentally prepared! Lin Feng reminded.

"Alas!" Wu Sangui sighed and said, "The most difficult thing now is that we can't communicate with them, they invite us to drink, and we think they are scolding us!" What can I do? ”

"Let's wait until we land and gain a foothold!" Lin Feng said, "It is very likely that we will have to use force at the beginning, and when they know that they can't defeat us, they will send people to negotiate peace with us!" ”

For two days in a row, Wu Sangui and his team transported many people ashore and set up many tents on the shore. Many sentinels were also sent out on all sides to keep on guard.

When the sappers came ashore, they began to cut timber, and they chose a place near the shore where the water was very deep, and prepared to build a floating dock here to unload the large equipment.

For two days in a row, the progress was very smooth, and Wu Sangui and Lin Feng also went ashore occasionally to have a look, and they were very satisfied with everything.

However, on the third night, Wu Sangui drank some wine, hugged Chen Yuanyuan and was busy talking, and fell asleep in the cabin with air conditioning, when suddenly the phone rang, Wu Sangui turned over and fell asleep again in annoyance, but the phone rang stubbornly, and Chen Yuanyuan, who didn't want to answer the phone, had to pick up the phone, "Hey! Why is it so late? ”

As soon as he heard a woman's voice on the phone, he immediately said, "I'm sorry madam, please ask General Wu to answer the phone, something is wrong!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to push Wu Sangui and said, "General, wake up!" Wake up! Something is wrong! ”

Wu Sangui took the phone dimly, "What's the matter?" Come on, Lao Tzu is sleepy! ”

"General Wu, it's not good, our camp on the shore was sneak attacked, and now it's on fire!" A staff officer said from the phone.

"What?" Wu Sangui woke up completely all of a sudden, "Okay, don't say it!" I'll be right here! ”

Wu Sangui was quiet for a moment, slowly put on his clothes, and when he pushed the door open, his mood was already very calm! It is no accident that he has become a great general after many years of battlefield career, and he has at least the cultivation of not panicking in case of trouble!

Wu Sangui came to the wheelhouse, Lin Feng handed the binoculars to Wu Sangui, and said, "General Wu, there has been a big fire in our camp on the shore, and the gunfire is continuous, and it seems that the loss is not small. Now that it is dark we do not dare to approach the shore, and it is too dangerous for the dinghy to go, I propose to fire cannons all around our camp to cheer our men and deter the attackers! ”

Wu Sangui looked at it with a telescope for a while, then turned around and asked the captain: "Our warship is so far away to fire cannonballs, can we guarantee that the cannonballs will be fired outside our camp?" ”

"It's a direct shot so far, it should be fine!" The captain replied.

"Order our warships to shoot with 130 caliber cannons!" Wu Sangui said decisively.

The staff officer immediately used the radio to convey Wu Sangui's order.

After a while, the 130-caliber cannons on several Yaogang warships on the sea roared angrily, and the fire suddenly rose around the Yaogang people's camp on the shore.

Looking at the light of the shells, Wu Sangui said: "Our gunfire has not stopped, which means that they still withstood it." Our opponent must have attacked our camp. Otherwise, with their weapons, no one would have stormed our camp and set fire to it! ”

Lin Feng said: "We have always been very cautious, but we still suffered this loss!" I think our soldiers are a little careless! ”

"Hey! It's no wonder that the people who can really fight on the shore are those in the Marine Corps. They're still crazy and don't take anyone seriously at all. The other engineer regiments went up to those hundreds of people, and there were quite a few of them, and they probably didn't even take them with them. These people simply did not expect that they needed to fight with their hands! ”

At this time, the gunfire on the shore gradually stopped, and suddenly the radio station that had been unreachable was connected, Wu Sangui grabbed the radio microphone and shouted: "Fuck! Why do you want to use the radio now? ”

The engineer commander on the opposite side heard that it was Wu Sangui and said: "Report to General Wu, we were suddenly attacked by thousands of savages, and the tent of our radio station was first occupied by savages, and the operators were all killed!" Now that the wildlings have run, we have rushed over. I'm afraid all the soldiers on the perimeter of our perimeter have been killed! In the camp we killed hundreds of savages, and our casualties were not small! The specific situation will have to wait until dawn! ”

"What's the fire that's burning?" Wu Sangui asked.

"Hey! The food and other things we brought in, as well as the timber we fell, were burned by the savages! Some tents were also burned! The engineer regiment said helplessly.

After listening to this, Wu Sangui said fiercely: "It seems that you need to fight a battle to engage in construction with peace of mind!" ”
